Today is a happy day

I'm sure that I have mentioned my neighbour from hell a couple of times before but we have been watching her over the past month or so taking things out of the house, one or two items at a time and trying not to get our hopes up too much that she might be moving out slowly and quietly.  She had a really loud party over Christmas that went on til the early hours, the first one she's had in quite a long time, but as annoying as it was we kept calm and hoped it was a moving out party.  It seems we might have been right as this past weekend things really ramped up and the larger furniture and items were taken out of the house on Saturday and Sunday and just like that she was gone. 

The Bailiffs turned up this morning to officially evict her and the locks were changed and notices posted on the window and front door but she had left all the lights on all day and all night over the weekend just to spite the landlord as he will be faced with the bill for that.  According to the landlord she left loads of rubbish and broken furniture in house along with a huge pile of unpaid bills, debt collector paperwork, court attendance and court order paperwork, so owes a lot of money to a lot of people along with several thousand in unpaid rent and its taken him this long to be able to evict her.

Coincidentally today is the 10th anniversary of my father's death, so what should have been quite a sad, reflective day has turned out to be a very happy and joyous day.  All we can hope for now is that she and her little brats don't return to cause trouble so fingers crossed for a fresh start and hope that once the landlord has restored the house to a liveable state that whoever moves in next is a decent human being, of course I won't settle until that happens and I get to know them but I have a glimmer of hope for the coming year.
